Tesla CEO Elon Musk's interference in European politics, which has emerged as the heavyweight of the second Trump administration in the U.S., is becoming increasingly bold.

After expressing support for Germany's far-right party several times, this time he broadcast live public talks with the leader of the far-right party on his social media.

Reporter Hong Joo-ye reports.

A woman approaches Christian Lindner, leader of Germany's center-right Liberal Democratic Party, who is campaigning, and throws a cake.

Mr. Lindner tries to keep calm by wiping his face.

The woman who threw the cake turned out to be a member of the Left Party.

[Christian Lindner, leader of the German Liberal Democratic Party, former finance minister] Unfortunately, it was soap, not cream. I wish I could have done better. If I did, I would have gotten something.]

Germany to hold general elections on 23rd of next month as Prime Minister Olaf Scholz's coalition government collapsesWhile the
center-right Christian Democratic Party is likely to win, a recent poll shows the far-right party Alternative for Germany is expected to take second place.

The party in particular has the full backing of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close ally of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Musk expressed his support on his social media and German newspapers, and this time, he also held public talks with the party leader.

[Elon Musk / Tesla CEO: Only 'Alternative for Germany' can save Germany. We need to support 'Alternative for Germany'. Otherwise, the situation in Germany will get very, very bad.]

[Alice Weidel / Alternative for Germany] [Representational] It was incredible. The way the German media and German politicians handled Donald Trump during the election was incredibly bad.

Musk also needs British Prime Minister Starmer to go to jailOr, in Spain, most of the rapists claimed to be foreigners.

European countries criticize this as interference in domestic affairs, but Trump shows no signs of stopping Musk, so Musk's move to cross the line could be more winging in the future.
